We need communications and PR whizzes to help with our Dance Trail event in Brighton Festival Fringe 2020.
The Dance Trail is Sussex Dance Network’s showcase for new work pushing boundaries. Six short performances in unusual places on the streets of Brighton during the Brighton Fringe festival in May. An exciting platform for connecting with audiences outside of the traditional theatre settings.
The performances are on Saturday 23 May (4-5pm) and Sunday 24 May (1-2pm) but we need help from the beginning of March until June so we can really get our message to the right people. You wouldn’t need to commit long-term.
Sussex Dance Network is led by artists working in contemporary dance and choreography across disciplines and formats. We exist to connect through dance, to support new ideas, and to create opportunities for dance artists and enthusiasts to realise their potential, whatever stage of their career.
Sussex Dance Network is led by artists for artists, supporting each other at every stage in our careers, and providing opportunities for dance training, creation and performance.

We are committed to creating exciting dance experiences for everybody through high quality opportunities to connect.
